## Prompt

```text
Generate a dramatic and impactful mixed media illustration of {subject_name}, using the uploaded image as a strict reference for facial structure, skin tone, and expression without any change. The artwork features an expressive ink sketch style with heavy textured brushstrokes, sharp angular lines, and vivid ink splatters. Superimpose layers of mysterious handwritten text, cryptic symbols, and abstract glyphs over the {subject_name}'s face and upper body, partially contouring the features to suggest inner turmoil and hidden meanings. The attire should be abstract and dark with raw visual energy. The background is light, yellowed parchment with grainy, faded paper texture, subtle lines, and stains, resembling an ancient manuscript or forgotten work. High contrast, editorial art style, raw and rebellious aesthetic.
